Zhu Youxiao, who was far away in the capital, also felt a little surprised after reading Xiong Tingbi's memorial.
There was internal discord among the Jiannu slaves, and some core senior figures wanted to abandon the dark side and join the bright side, and submitted letters of surrender.
This is indeed a good thing and a great opportunity.
If Lao Nu can be made to focus on one thing and not the other, it will be very beneficial to the Ming Dynasty's future general offensive.
However, he also has the same worries as Xiong Tingbi, that is, whether he can be trusted.
At this time, he suddenly said that he would betray the old slave and seek refuge with the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, he did not put forward any conditions when he came to seek refuge. He just said that he would give a guarantee.
It's really incredible.
He has no other skills in building slaves. He is still good at pretending to be weak and engaging in intrigues.
Zhu Youxiao will not forget how Huang Taiji relied on so-called peace talks to manipulate the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty in history.
But he didn't want to waste such an opportunity. After all, no one could guarantee that he would win in a war, and the losses would not be small.
And Zhu Youxiao was also thinking about who this person who claimed to belong to the Ming Dynasty was.
According to what Xiong Tingbi said in his memorial, this person must be of high authority.
Based on this, we can conclude that it is not the traitors who surrendered to the past, but only one of their own.
Could it be the remnants of the Yehe tribe?
That's impossible. Some of the most prestigious and qualified people in Ye He's tribe were killed by the old slave.
After thinking for a long time, Zhu Youxiao couldn't figure out who this person was, so he simply didn't care.
Since someone wants to receive a certificate of investment, then just accept it yourself.
I would like to give you some more warnings and strengthen my defenses. I believe that with Xiong Tingbi's brains, he will not be able to defeat these savages.
Soon, he personally drafted two edicts, one of which was of course addressed to Xiong Tingbi.
Then he sent his confidant Sun Yunhe to personally go to Liaodong to be responsible for supervision, as well as spying and collecting intelligence.
Naturally, only a few of them in Daming knew about this matter.
Zhu Youxiao was not the idiot that Chongzhen was. He even summoned civil servants for a meeting. As a result, the news spread all over the place. In the end, he was unable to get off the stage and was ridiculed by the civil servants.
Sun Yunhe, who had been outclassed by Xu Xianchun and Yang Huan, also realized that this was his perfect opportunity to make a comeback.
Therefore, he also gathered all the generals under his command, more than a hundred of them, and galloped towards Liaodong with one man and two horses.
Xiong Tingbi felt relieved after receiving the emperor's reply again.
Although he also suspected that this was Boarskin's plan, he was more worried that His Majesty, who did not understand Jiannu, would make wrong judgments.
Now it seems that his worries are unnecessary.
With the emperor's clear expression and support, Xiong Tingbi immediately called two slave-building messengers again to discuss how to advance to inflict the greatest harm to the old slaves.
"Master Xiong, to tell you the truth, if you want to go to Fushun and attack Sarhu Pass from the front, you will never be able to get in."
"There is a red flag stationed there, with more than 7,000 people, and Yue Tuo is the flag master."
"Furthermore, Sarhu Pass is only a hundred miles away from Hetuala. If Master Xiong cannot break through this pass in a short period of time, once Daishan's reinforcements arrive, you may be in danger of being attacked from both sides."
Xiong Tingbi basically understood these situations, and his Liaodong economic strategy was not in vain.
But he did not make a sound, but quietly listened to the two of them analyzing the situation, and he could judge the truth from their words.
"In that case, how do you think I should advance?"
Seeing Xiong Tingbi's question, the two looked at each other and smiled, and then said:
"We have some suggestions, but I don't know if Mr. Xiong has the courage to give it a try."
Seeing this, Xiong Tingbi couldn't help but feel a little curious and asked:
"Oh, what suggestions."

North Korea
The Jiannu did not divide their forces to plunder as Qi Jin imagined.
This was beyond his expectation. Wild boar skin is indeed difficult to deal with.
Now he doesn't have a suitable fighter plane, so he can only continue to hide in the dark these days, observing day and night, looking for loopholes in establishing slaves.
But just because he's not in a hurry doesn't mean that others aren't in a hurry.
The two guards of the Ming army were very angry when they saw that Qi Jin had not sent troops.
Of course, they were not angry at Qi Jin for not leading them to establish military merits, but they were worried about whether the things Mao Wenlong assigned to them could be completed.
"It's said that people become wiser with age. I finally saw it today. I didn't expect this old guy to be so calm."
Hearing this, a person next to him also sighed and said:
"After all, he is a veteran who has been fighting for decades, and the court trusts him. He is not easy to fool. Let's just wait and see what happens."
While the two were talking, Li Hu suddenly came, frightening the two of them and leaving immediately.
After Li Hu joined forces with Qi Jin, the King of Korea could say that he issued a decree every day, urging him to send troops to fight as soon as possible.
The North Korean king naturally did not dare to urge Qi Jin, but Li Hu was different.
He was worshiped as the Great General of Pinglu by the King of Korea, and everyone from the emperor and ministers of Korea to the common people were counting on him to defeat Jiannu as soon as possible.
It can be said that it has high hopes.
But Li Hu has no other abilities, but he still has self-awareness.
He knew very well that his talents were mediocre, and he only had a few thousand troops, so what could he use to fight against them? It would be better to die.
But his own king doesn't care about this, he only knows to urge himself to go to war.
There are also those old men in the court who don’t know how to fight.
All I can do is sit there and be blind for a while, and then impeach myself.
Under such tremendous pressure, Li Hu was finally on the verge of collapse.
I looked up and saw that it was noon again today. It seemed that Qi Jin was holding back his troops again today, waiting for a chance to fight.
At the end of the road, he finally came to the Ming army camp and found Qi Jin to ask.
"General, don't be impatient. Now that I'm here, I won't retreat without a fight. It's just that our army is small and not as brave as Jiannu. It's not a big deal to go head-to-head with God."
"To be honest, General Mao Wenlong has personally led a group of elite troops to bypass Jiannu's back. As long as we cooperate properly, it will only be a matter of time before we defeat Jiannu."
After receiving this answer, Li Hu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Qi Jin was just here to show off.
Now that it is certain that he will definitely send troops, a glimmer of hope fills his heart.
Over the years, North Korea has been bullied by the slaves. If he can return with a big victory, his reputation will surely reach its peak.
In this way, North Korea will also have its place.
Thinking of this, Li Hu couldn't help but feel confident, and just as he was about to go back to prepare, Qi Jin's Ye Bushou finally brought good news.
"The supervisory army and the slave-building army have dispersed. With Niulu as the unit and Ji County as the center, they are dispatching in all directions. Our opportunity has come."
Hearing such military reports, Qi Jin suddenly smiled. The opportunity he had been waiting for finally came.
Immediately, drums were beaten to gather the generals, and strategic deployment and tactical arrangements began.
